The Ultimatum Netflix

Netflix's The Ultimatum star Rae Williams briefly opened up about her experience in an Instagram post, admitting she found it “so hard watching everything ...

Once Rae and Zay reunited, they attempted to work out their differences in a conversation with her mom. The couples later met up for drinks, and Jake privately spoke to Zay about his girlfriend’s issue with him not claiming her. While Rae’s father seemingly liked Jake, his mother admitted she wanted him to work it out with April, believing Rae might be a little too “reserved.” After living together for a couple of days, Rae opened up about her issues with Zay, who works in the nightlife scene, pointing out that he doesn’t post her on social media. He considers his relationship with Rae his first real romance and doesn’t want to rush into marriage. She called her experience “lucky” to have Vanessa and Nick Lachey as hosts, pointing out how much their “guidance, advice, and support” helped.

Netflix has a new number one show, and we've veered back into an era where a reality series is dominating the charts. We've seen this before recently with ...

The closest thing to a possibly functional relationship is Jake and April, though they’re a whole thing by themselves. One person has issued an “ultimatum” of the other person that they want to get married, and the other person is balking. While I don’t know what’s going to happen in the finale, out of six couples that started, two got engaged before the “trial marriages” even began, mainly because they seemed to be left out of the musical chairs game that had them paired with no one by the end. Then the show forces them to live together to decide if they want to marry this person that quickly. The weird twist here is that all these couples are thrown together and then paired off into new couples that will live together in a “trial marriage” for three weeks. The show is eight episodes deep with the finale and reunion coming next week.

Netflix's latest reality hit from the team behind 'Love is Blind' follows six couples deciding whether to marry or split up.

After the weeks apart, the original couples then stay together for another three weeks, where they attempt to work out their old issues and whatever new ones came up in their time apart. The pairs then split and choose new partners among the group to live with for three weeks in a trial marriage. The Ultimatum is a lot of things—a fascinating character study, a slow-moving trainwreck, a show somehow more intense than its predecessor.
